Abstract: Abstract This paper reviews research on simulation/games development at Nanjing University, China. The research responded to the need for culturally-based, interactive learning situations which would motivate foreign students to use the Chinese language in different situations with different media. The presentation at ISAGA included a videotaped demonstration as well as descriptions of games and simulations for foreign language communication (Chinese). Included in this paper are design considerations and descriptions of computer, video, and manipulative simulation/games for elementary and advanced students, and international business majors studying Chinese as a foreign language.
